Because of this post I have repeated the word 'hammock' out loud at least a hundred times--I am really no closer to determining how I say it, and most of my family is staring at me like I'm insane.

The more I hear myself say it the more inclined I am to think the answer is none of the above. I think I say it like the truly linguistically lazy American that I am--with a schwa in the last syllable... ham-uck. This from the guy that says 'water' like wah-der.

I'm always happier NOT thinking about how I say things.
